Update monitoring law, Bush says

President Bush wants Congress to modernize a law that governs how intelligence agencies monitor the communications of terror suspects.

"This law is badly out of date," Bush said Saturday in urging passage of legislation in his weekly radio address.

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, provides a legal foundation that allows information about terrorists' communications to be collected without violating civil liberties.

Bush noted that terrorists now use disposable cell phones and the Internet to communicate, recruit operatives and plan attacks; such tools were not available when FISA passed nearly 30 years ago.

Democrats want to ensure that any changes do not give the executive branch unfettered surveillance powers.

Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi used the Democrats' weekly radio address to tout her party's passage of legislation last week to implement major recommendations of the Sept. 11 Commission. The White House said the president would sign it

Sergeant disputes chaplain on Tillman

The soldier at Pat Tillman's side moments before the former NFL star's death in Afghanistan strongly disputed portions of testimony given by a chaplain to investigators.

The chaplain debriefed the entire unit days after Tillman's death in April 2004 and included comments by Army Sgt. Bryan O'Neal. The chaplain told investigators that O'Neal said Tillman was harsh in his last moments, snapping, "Would you shut your (expletive) mouth? God's not going to help you; you need to do something for yourself, you sniveling ..."

O'Neal disputed that and other portions of the chaplain's testimony, outlined in 2,300 pages of transcripts released to the AP last week by the Defense Department in response to a Freedom of Information Act request.

"He never would have called me 'sniveling,' " O'Neal said. "I don't remember ever speaking to this chaplain, and I find this characterization of Pat really upsetting."

The chaplain's name is blacked out in the documents.
